Love Me or Let Me Be

Sometimes I wish I had your picture by my window

A smile for now could last forever and a day

A frozen moment melts in time, grass is greener than your pretty eyes

In my memory's where I'd like for you to stay

It's just a phase, some might say, I'll get over it someday

And I'll trust myself with all that I decide

Out of sight, on my mind, I'm not asking for your time

You're my favorite thing I've ever left behind

You could be the air I breathe

Baby, love me or let me be

Now you're just why I bleed

Baby, love me or let me be

Sometimes I sleep, and when my heart's in sweet surrender

Dreams of you are stuck on repeat in my head

Sometimes I sleep, my troubles fade

Shut the windows, draw the shades

But don't meet me on the other side of my bed

You can call when I'm not home, leave a message at the tone

Take a hint, but still refuse to read the signs

You're not crazy, you're not blind, you've heard all my pickup lines

I'm the one thing that you will never leave behind

No, no, no, no, no, no...

You could be the air I breathe

Baby, love me or let me be

Now you're just why I bleed

Baby, love me or let me be

Look, I remember back in college when you told me

The world was much too big for you to have a one & only, now

I let it slide, let it slide like I do

I never really saw a point in arguing with you, now

I must admit you crossed my mind from time to time, like

I heard my favorite song and took it as a sign, like

Maybe you were somewhere listening along,

Wondering how you could've been so wrong, yeah

Someday, someday, it'll all fade away

Until you're just a memory of a different time and place

Past love, stacked up, lines on your face

You're lying to yourself, while your mind gets erased

You could be the air I breathe

Baby, love me or let me be

Now you're just why I bleed

Baby, love me or let me be

Love me or let me, love me or let me, love me or let me be

Love me or let me, love me or let me, love me or let me be
